Box of Joy Project

This year for Christmas, the PSR program decided to participate in the Box of Joy Project.
Due to the overwhelming generosity of families, seven shoe boxes were filled and donated with suggested items for Christmas gifts for children in Haiti and the Dominican Republic.

"With the anticipation and celebration of Christmas, we experience the joy of our Lord Jesus Christ. Gift giving is a wonderful, meaningful part of that experience. Unfortunately, severe poverty deprives many children in developing countries of this joy. Their parents are too poor to provide even one simple Christmas present.

Through Cross Catholic Outreach’s Box of Joy program, you can ensure these children are not deprived of Christmas blessings this year. By packing a Christmas gift box and sponsoring the cost of its shipment, you can deliver a Box of Joy to a child in Guatemala or Haiti who would otherwise receive nothing.
